CDesign By Carr

Carr is a studio that has championed and cemented the power of design in Australia for more than 50 years – and behind it is Sue Carr – a passionate designer who continues to diligently push the industry forward with her progressive approach to design. Sue’s design philosophy permeates every project that the studio creates. These guiding principles have been founded on a deep understanding of the value that design can impart on the human experience. Whether a timeless home, a large-scale residential development, a future-facing workplace or a ground-breaking hotel, every Carr project considers its context, light and shadow, and form and function to create work that leaves an impact. Since first starting an interior design studio in 1971, Sue has continued to drive the importance of design and this courageous commitment has been recognised by several key accolades. In 2006 Sue was inducted in the Design Institute of Australia’s Hall of Fame, an award that celebrates the work of design visionaries. She has also been recognised in the AFR Westpac ‘100 Women of Influence’ Awards, and in 2010 she received the Gold Medal for Interior Design at the Interior Design Excellence Awards. In 2021, Sue was appointed as a Member of the Order of Australia (AM) for services to interior design, to education, and to women in business in the Queen’s Birthday Honours
